[Forbes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mytherabox) reports "Alter-G G-Trainer's [unique treadmill system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victory-treadmill) allows people to train and recover by reducing their effective body weight via positive air pressure. Because the technology, developed by [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stressless-adam), controls the impact on the body, people who have trouble standing, walking or running can do so comfortably. Athletes also can get a workout minus the stress on their joints." **Implications** - The G-Trainer is able to reduce your body weight from "three to 80 percent, in one percent increments." The machine uses air pressure to create a sort of "uniform, upward-lifting force on the lower body." The featured images show a man running on the treadmill with a tube in his mouth that connects to different spots on the machine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Body Weight Reducing Technology:** The G-Trainer's technology of reducing body weight via positive air pressure presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the fitness and rehabilitation industries. - **Comfortable Exercise for Mobility-impaired Individuals:** The G-Trainer's ability to provide a comfortable workout experience for people who have trouble standing, walking, or running opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the healthcare and assistive technology industries. - **Low-impact Training for Athletes:** The G-Trainer's capability of providing a workout with reduced joint stress offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the sports and athletic equipment industries. ### Where This Applies - **Fitness:** The G-Trainer's body weight reducing technology can revolutionize the fitness industry by offering new and effective workout methods. - **Rehabilitation:** The G-Trainer's comfortable exercise feature makes it a valuable tool for physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics, creating disruptive innovation opportunities in the healthcare industry. - **Assistive Technology:** The G-Trainer's ability to accommodate mobility-impaired individuals opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the assistive technology industry, allowing for improved accessibility and exercise options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intelligent Treadmill Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-treadmill.md) - [Smart Stride-Assisting Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hurotics-hfit.md) - [Smart Home Fitness Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merach.md) - [Gamified Treadmill Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviron-victory-treadmill.md) - [Resistance Training Space Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmofit-exosuit.md) - [Intelligent Home Fitness Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-fitness-solution.md) - [Total Body Board-Style Trainers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squatz-apollo-board.md) - [Foldable Under-Desk Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkingpad-a1-pro.md) - [Interactive Home Workout Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-home-fitness-system.md)
